Fake doctor in Florida arrested for dangerous butt injections

A woman was arrested by Florida police for using a mixture of superglue, cement, mineral oil and other chemicals in illegal, butt-enhancing cosmetic procedures, according to reports by NBC Miami and the Miami Herald.

Oneal Ron Morris, a 30 year-old transgendered woman, faces charges of practicing medicine without a license for injecting a woman who later became hospitalized with serious complications to the procedure, including a staph infection.

Morris also appears to have performed the injections on herself, judging by the unusual proportions in her booking photos. Police are asking other victims to come forward.

Investigators suspect (Morris) is part of an underground network of scam artists who have been offering “pumping parties” and home buttocks augmentations across South Florida for years.

In some cases, the end result has been deadly.

Vera Lawrence of Carol City died in March 2001 after too much silicone was injected in her buttocks during a “pumping party” at a Miramar home. The hosts of the party were not licensed physicians, and eventually were charged with Lawrence’s death.
